BACK AT YhEM.

IAs RreAldsnt's "SenSe OF Humor" In
Again Nominating . Negro for Register
or Desds OF the District OF Columbia.
With the laudable purpose of finding
a cOlored man worthy of succeeding
Fred Douglass as Recorder If Deeds
for the District of Columbia, President
Cleveland has now nominated James
Monroe Trotter, of Massachusetts, for
the place. Mr.. Trotter is a colored
Democrat, and once lost a lucrative
position in the Boston post-of1ice for
his inability to see political questions
through the same eyes as his distin-
guished Republican Civil-Service reform
associates did. In addition to this he
was a soldier during the war and has
since gained some fame and money as
an author. Highly recommended by
the Democrats and Mugwumps Of Bos-
ton, he will enter upon the discharge
of the duties Of the office under very
catering circumstances.
How he will fare in the Senate is not
yet known. Matthews, his immediate
predecessor, also q negro, was twice
rejected in that body because of his
color. As James Monroe Trotter is. if
any thing. u little biacker than
Matthews. the chances are that he, too,
will go by the board People who as
sert that Mr.. Cleveland is dull and
heavy, without proper appreciation
Of humor, will be compelled to modify
their Judgment in view of developments
relating to the selection of a successor
TO Douglass. lie not only has a keen
sense of hunor, but he manifests an
intimate knowledge of practical poll
tics which will have to be acknowl-
edged. When he came into Office
he had the cry ringing in his ears that
the Democrats would ignore the negro
and perhaps re-enslave him. He looked
around to see what the Republicans had
done in the way of giving the black
man Offices, and he found one man,
not very highly colored, either, in
place, and he concluded that he would
at least do as well. With the expira-
ton Of Douglass term he appointed
Matthews. When he was rejected by
the Republican Senate he reappointed
him, under the impression that posi-
bly, the Senate had made a mistake,
and when he was again rejected he Sc
lected a Massachusetts negro of cult
ure, undoubted loyalty and unques-
toned Democracy. 1t certainly is not
the Democratic President who is stand
ing in the way of the black man

Not an Almoner of Gifts.

MIR. Cleveland never omits an oppor-
tunity to enforce the doctrin ethat the
Government should not support the
people. In vetoing the bill for pub
lie building at Portsmouth, o., he cites.
the claim of the promoter of the meas
ure that there is not Federal public
building in the State of Ohio east of
line drawn on the map from Cleveland
through Columbus to Cincinnati, and
that when wealth and population
and tho needs of the public service
are considered, the distribution of
public buildings in the State is an un-
fair one" The President condemns
this theory of expenditure for public
buildings as untenable, pointing out
that if an application for the erection
of such building is to be determined
by the distance between its proposed
location and another public building,
or upon the. allegation that a certain
division OF a State is without a Gov
eminent building. or that the distri-
button of these buildings in particular
State is unfair, we shall rapidly be led
to an entire disregard of the consider
atoms of necessity and public need,
which it seems to him should alone
justify the expenditure OF public funds
for such purpose. 1.-The care and
protection which the Government
owes to the people," he adds, ''do
not embrace the grant of public
buildings to decorate thriving and pros
porous cities and villages, nor should
such buildings. be erected upon any
principle OF fair distribution among To-
calities. The Government is not an
Almoner af gifts among the people, but
an instrumentality by which the peo-
ple's affairs should be conducted upon
business principles. regulated by the
public needs" Applying these princi-
elas to the case under consideration.
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1887-03-24

the President concludes that 1.as .
business proposition the building pro-
posed should not be undertaken,n and
therefore refuses to sign the bill. which
kills it The saving of money to tho
treasury by the various public building
bills which the President has vetoed
must be considerable. but the financial
saving is unimportant in eopparisou
with the lesson which he Fas thus
taught in the proper relations of the
Federal Government to the people

The Birth of Comets.

All comets and meteors, according
TO my theory, are Stubborn. But it is
not to our own sun, with Sorby, nor to
those other suns, the stars, with Ora
ham and Daubree, that attribute all
comets and meteor systems. Many
millions have come doubtless from our
sun during the many millions of years
he has been assun, though few of his
cometic children are known to terres-
trial astronomers. Millions of millions
have come from the many millions OF
suns in onr galaxy during the many
millions of years of their sunlike exisS,
ence. But the giant planets were once
suns, and in their sun-like state, which
must have lasted millions of years, they
niusG have excited their smaller comets
and meteor systems, which even now
after millions Of years have paths pass
ing near The orbits or their parens
orbs- Our earth and ner fellow terres-
trial planets had their sunlike stage OF
life, too, and it must have been while
the earth was sun that the meteor
explained specially by Tschermak'
theory were expelled-PrQE Proctor. -

A TRUE OFFERING.
Dilly's Generous Act in Place Of
Easter Gifts.

'.What are you going to draw, Dilly?"
Chatty Arkwright's little plain face
looked thin and sharp with anxiety as
she asked the question.

billy herself had great deal of am

finger-tips now with the excitement of
the contest for the prize that had been
offered to her class in the Cherryfield
Academy for the best drawing from ma
ture. 1t was not only the pleasure of

though that was very dear to her heart;

WHY HE RESIGNED.

Once tn Give His AttentIOn to . Weak
Presidential oBoom."

Mr.. sherman Vacstea q "FfEure-Head~
Once to Give His Alteration to = weak
Presidential "BOom-"
The reason, charitably or unchar-
itably assigned. for the resignation of
John Sherman from the respectable.
solemn and somnolent post of tempo
rary President of the Senate is that he
means to give boost to his boom for.
another Presidency, the salary of which
is greater by forty-two thousand dollars
year. Honest John has never been
known to give something for nothing
and his ambition is checked only by his
thrift If he voluntarily resigns three
thousand dollars year, it is perfectly
natural to suppose that he knows what
he is about; and he may be right I'm
supposing that he will advertise him
self in larger letters by coming down
from that dais of boredom on whiche
the President of the Senate sits with no
power to claim the right of sanctuary
in the cloak-room. though assaulted by
many mOldy metaphors and drenched
with the chilly stream of Senatorial
eloquence.
The Pinkstonian statesman is Ptr-
haps right in resigning. He might
come to be a mere wooden man, All
animated gavel, breakwater to the
storms of Oratory, a human sounding
board. He has rescued himself, but
what of HE boom? We say it in no
spirit of unkindness, but that boom is
ancient and castancan, and hardly
worth digging up. Ohio venerates
John. and certain Ohio politicians ara
anxious to make him President so as tor
get him out of the Senate; but are Re-
publican Buckeyes capable of political
good faithP The grizzled old financieI
of Mansfield has good cause to doubt it
He knows them, and they know it.
They filched from him the nomination
for President. Then they almost kept
him out of the Senate, to which he has
the pretensions of life member. The
usual Ohio Republican politician is =
clear case of viper. .s
Shaky at home, what prop has Mr.
Sherman elsewhere? The confidence
of the conservative and business I'M
terests?" If so, he is dead man pO-
litically; for these seem to be fatal to n
candidate. The TRUTHS that Mr.. Sher-
man, however valuable for his ,associsI-
tions, is not u popular man; and he is
less likely than Allison, for instance, "a
succeed Mr.. Blaine if that gentleman
should not care to try his luck again

Reason for the Election.

There does not seem to have beenany
special reason for Senator Sherman tn
resign the Presidency pro tempore OF
the Senate, rs he did the other day. un.
less it was to give some other Senator
a chance to have $3.50 per month add
ed to his salary during his service aa
President pro tempore. Under the old
law relating to the Presidential success
sion, the President pro tempore of tha
Senate would have been temporarily
President in the event of the death,
resignation or inability of both President
and Vice-President- When that law was
in existence it was a wise and proper pre-
caution to have aPresident pre- tempOrG
whose term bridged the intervening
time between the expiration of one Con-
another. If it had remained ON
the statute books there would la
some good reason for the retire
ment of Senator Sherman from
the Presidency pro tem.-as his pres
ent term as Senator expires on the
4th of March, and his Presidency would
expire with it. although he has been
reelected to the Senate-to give IN
opportunity to the Senate to elect a
Senator whose term did not close with
this Congress. But under the Presis
Dental Succession law, as it now
stands, the President pro tempore Of
the Senate is wholly out of the line, and
it would therefore make no differences
to the country if there was no such off,
ficer during the recess of the Senate
Nor would it make any difference With
the Senate, for at the regular session.
or ut a special session if one were
called, the work of choosing presid--
ing officer-a President pro temporc-
would require only moments time
The President pro tempore of the Sem
ate, however. receives So. 600 per year.
while other Senators receive but s., 900.
and this is the only reason there is now
for taking care to have such an offics@
during the recess of Congress. Detroit
